In special cells around the Mausoleum there are tombs of the Khiva khans’ descendants, their wives and children. As the legends say, once there lived in these parts a Sufi sheikh called Chadirli Ishan. After his death he was buried here, and the cemetery that grew around his tomb got the name of Chadirly Ishan. In the second half of 19th century, Sayyid Muhammadkhan ordered to erect a mausoleum over the sheikh’s tomb. As a result of further construction, the complex turned into the Khiva khans’ family crypt. Next to it is the burial site of Islam Khodja.
